Amit Shah hits out at Cong's 'politics of appeasement'

There is public anger against Siddaramaiah government. Shah also said that BJP has always been accountable where Congress has not.

Addressing those in charge of BJPs "Shakti Kendra" here, he said BJP had been winning polls in several states and increasing its tally and "it is Karnatakas turn now".

Mr. Shah will arrive in Mangaluru on Monday evening and proceed to Kukke Subrahmanya Temple, before which he will attend a party workers' meet at Malavoor near Mangaluru International Airport.

"I have seen and fought all these elections closely", he said.

Meanwhile, the BJP is relying on party president Amit Shah to take the call on who the candidate will be. He also thrashed the Karnataka government of pursuing "appeasement politics". Their countdown has begun. their time to go has come near. He did not address party workers, as was scheduled in Kumta town, the site of communal violence in December 2017 after Mesta's death.

But he had no hesitation in saying that reports that he has got about ground level work by workers was disappointing, Shah said. But regular victories like in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh are guaranteed only if the booths are strengthened. Shah, who was unwell, cut his trip short after meeting the Mesta family. While other parties go for elections based on the performa nce of ministers and their work, we not only have the world's most popular leader but also 11 crore members from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.

Mr Shah said 19 scams and 22 political murders have been reported during the Congress rule in the State.Asked why people should vote for the BJP, which gave three Chief Ministers during its term a decade ago, he said the party has learnt lessons from it.

Earlier in the day, Shah visited the famous 800-year-old Krishna Mutt at Udupi.
